I actually got 2004, I'm not sure where this should go but they completely revamped Cortana and I really don't like it. There's a whole different UI that I don't like and there's no more Hey Cortana.

Cortana was forced into Microsoft 365 Office. It's no longer available on Android, iOS or Desktop.

Cortana, Microsoft’s voice assistant, has been somewhat adrift over the last year, but like most Microsoft technology the service has turned to Microsoft’s real strength, productivity, as a safe niche. In a new blog post, Microsoft is promoting it as a solution to stay on track with Cortana in...

Cortana is in BETA and missing some features, it was ported over to the Microsoft Store to get more regular updates and support, you'll need to wait as Microsoft updates it.

Hey Cortana is on the to-do list, so don't worry.

I am still using 1909 and still haven't got any new updates....

 

[oldschool]

We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in mid-June.

Another PR disaster for M$, after spending so much development time on their new "features" instead of the basics.

Anyone of ya pc got bricked from this update? Don't want to waste 30 mins to restore my pc from stable backup.

Your username dictates your future experience with Windows. Play it safe and wait 2 weeks.

Windows 10 2004 upgrade may be blocked due to old graphics drivers

Microsoft is blocking Windows 10 2004 upgrades due to multiple conflicts caused by older or incompatible display drivers. Microsoft will not allow the May 2020 Update to be installed until these issues are resolved.

Did clean install 2004 from 1909 on my lappy so slow same as 1909 lmao i have the SSD 240GB and 4GB ram i think due to RAM thats why slow i havent use in a while anyway that's just for test no issues at all i guess...

Be aware of the defrag bug, which is not fixed yet (.264). Windows will try to defrag/trim HDD/SSD after every restart. You might want to disable it.

schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Defrag\ScheduledDefrag" /Disable
sc config defragsvc start= disabled

how you revert those changes, defrag is no longer opening
edit: sc config defragsvc start= demand

Clean installed in a VM using the MCT. Haven't faced any issues so far.

• When creating a user account, I like how "Offline Account" is now an option and we don't have to do any workarounds to make a local account.
• For some reason I was under the impression that 2004 would include Edge (Chromium). However, it seems legacy Edge is still the default which is disappointing.

I thought it was a bug haha

Same! While I know I can install Edge (Chromium) on my own, it feels clunky and unnecessary for a "clean" install.

I thought this too. Was annoyed to have to manually install it, but not a big deal.

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Yeah, I also don't understand that.
This was an appropriate time to remove legacy Edge forever.

 

[SeriousHoax]

Same here. I was surprised to see Chromium Edge not installed. I was also expecting the new logo of Windows Security.

I remember seeing it when I installed 2004 in March but then it reverted to the old one

ohhhh...rip I downloaded before I read this topic.

Anyway did some searches, watch out if you use ESET: [ALERT7506] Windows 10 Version 2004 BSOD

It would be adding more trauma on top of a feature update for some users!

It appears they chickened-out of adding these since they were busy not fixing all of the insider bugs. Oh, I'm being unusually cruel to M$!

Edit: They should probably sneak Edge Chromium into a CU to ease the burden on users.

 

[Vitali Ortzi]

That's why LTSC is my favorite edition .
Super stable compared to home crap .
And I can add consumer features if I wanted.
For example I added Xbox and store on a gaming PC.

This was supposed to be called April update, then they postponed it to first week of May then once again postponed to the end of May and still they haven't fixed some bugs, included Chromium Edge, new WS icon. I would say you're actually being too nice on them
